Mirage - Mekons

Cloud puncher

Sky stealer

Earth falling

Early warning

Deep mountain

Tall highway

Gasoline rainbow

Beats working

Beats dying

Slow rising

Where you hiding?

(Where you hiding?)

Where you hiding?

(Where you hiding?)

Where you hiding?

(Where you hiding?)

And a skinny fella comes out of nowhere

The only moment on this horizon

Gives us something to fix our eyes on

Something nagging, almost blinding

Gives us something to fix our eyes on

Weird recollections

Life flashing before you

Stumble off again

Into the mirage and the sunset

Into the mirage and the sunset

Into the mirage and the sunset

Drinking, dancing, sex, high-living

They don’t seem so sinful now

We dwindle in the atom age

Into the mirage and the folded page

Into the mirage and the sunset

Into the mirage and the sunset

Into the mirage and the sunset

Into the mirage and the sunset

Guilt, remorse and loneliness

All are part of dying

This is as good as-

This is as good as it’s gonna get

Between the mirage and the sunset

Between the mirage and the sunset

Between the mirage and the sunset

No taboos, nothing to lose

Modern dramas, electric storms

A trunk in the attic, a moment of panic

Daily routine, the faces freeze

Hearts of gold, hearts of gold

I never thought it would end

I never thought it would end

All my friends, all my friends

Where the fuck did they go?

In my tent, I sit and tremble

While outside the dust storms rage

I thought I had found an oasis

But it was just a muddy stinking hole
